Keeping Sane. Just exactly what does that mean??
Different days it means different things. Yesterday it meant having this laptop close at hand. I felt productive and like I accomplished something. Which I did!! I finished our store's October newsletter and got it out. But today, well I'm not sure what it means exactly.
Finding something to do each day to keep me focused will help. Guiding the kids in their studies is getting harder. Hauling books in and out of the *wrong* rooms is tedious. But we can't quit for the year either. One of my goals while "resting", to replace some our hands-on and parent-directed work, was to do some more reading out loud to the kids. We do a lot of reading already, so this will be in addition to that. Now the question is: What to read?
I'll have to go scan the bookshelves and see what's been on the back burner. Thinking something fun and exciting! Maybe The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. A couple of the kids have read it, but it would a great precurser to the movie's debut this winter. Yeah. I think that's what we'll read.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm...I feel better now.

We just started reading that book together as well, and are determined to finish it before the movie too!:-) Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and for sharing your story with me. What tragedy you've experienced! And yet, our Lord has truly proven Himself faithful in His loving provision towards you, and for that I'm so excited to hear... I'm so glad you *found* me, it's nice to *meet* you. His blessings are evident in your testimony, and I look forward to reading more from you.
blessings to you and yours!

We're reading the magician's nephew right now, with plans to finish the lion....wardrobe before the movie comes out! We've done it before, as well, but seeing as I have books on my bookshelf that I've read a dozen times I figured it wouldn't hurt. My children keep saying "one more chapter mom".
Keeping sane...what happens when you loose it?! Mine reads 'finding sanity'!!!
